Upcoming Classes
The Professional Supervised Visitation Monitor Training Course is a comprehensive training program designed to equip all future professional monitors with an understanding of the basic principles and practices of supervised visitations, including your defined and impartial role as a monitor. Our training also covers proper and effective parent intakes and preparation of the parent and child for the visit, while focusing on the child’s best interest and safety.
You will also develop skills to analyze court documents, fill out required government forms, and learn the technique to writing flawless reports. This training is in compliance with the 2023 California Rules of Court Standard 5.20 for Professional Providers and meets State requirements. Currently under California Family Law, there is no renewal required of this training. Upon completion of the course, all attendees will receive a "certificate of completion."
As of 2021 California State Policy requires ALL monitors to be LIVESCAN/background check and be registered with TrustLine. In addition to the 24 hr. training course, professional monitors are required to complete a 4 hour online mandated reporter training course (free of charge) offered by the Department of Social Services.
This class will help you hone your skills as a trainer of adult learners. You will learn about adult learning theory, strategies for adult learners, how to create for appropriate pacing for adult courses, and more. We will also have a large block of time that will be devoted to creating role playing , activities, games, and collaborating with other trainers. We train using multiple modalities of learning.
Whether you are preparing to be a professional trainer, or you are someone who does a bit of training as a part of their job, you always want to be prepared. Your participants will understand that training is a process where skills, knowledge, and attitudes are applied in a unique way.
Our Train-The-Trainer workshop will provide your participants the skills to help them deliver engaging and compelling workshops. We use the Facilitation Model of training.
